Just Work

Kim Scott

"Urgent and actionable, this passionate manifesto will be a welcome addition to any leader's desk." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"Just Work [is] presented with thoughtful clarity and sensitivity. ... Scott's advice is rooted firmly in common sense, with a nod to the realities of human nature." -- Booklist

"If you've been wringing your hands or hiding your head in the sand about the issues of injustice in your workplace (yes, yours!), this is the book to read. You will learn how to recognize and eradicate the bias, bad behavior and discrimination that is holding back your team and company from succeeding at the highest levels possible." --Sarah Kunst, Managing Director of Cleo Capital

"It's about time someone tackled this thorny subject. Bravo! Many workplaces get tangled up or ignore the issues when dealing with bias and difference. Thank goodness for Kim Scott and her dose of candor, offering us not just the words, but the courage and compassion required to deal with conflicting points of view. Just Work holds our hands, kicks our butts and shows us how." --Beth Comstock, author, Imagine It Forward, and former Vice Chair, GE

"Just Work left me optimistic that we can create just workplaces. Kim Scott carefully explains how bias, prejudice and bullying undermine all organizations--even those with the best of intentions-and provides an actionable system for countering each. Her acknowledgment that none of us-herself included-are free of this behavior marks an important starting point for a difficult but necessary conversation." --Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Alphonse Fletcher University Professor and Director of the Hutchins Center for African and African American Research, Harvard University

"Packed with stories from Scott's career, Just Work offers a solutions-focused perspective on #MeToo, acknowledging that gender injustice doesn't exist in a vacuum and broadening the frame to consider diversity and inclusion
